Jut got a 75 cb550f, that is in good condition with all original parts. I plan on doing a mild build considering its original condition and still giving it some kick.
I would like to change the handlebars, im 6'1 and would like to go either clip on, drag, clubman, or sport. I might keep the stock seat to retain a cool sleeper look and still have the possibility of a passenger. But most likely will go with a fiberglass bumstop. Also, if rear sets will be necessary thats no problem.
Just wondering what bars would be best with this, I still want it to have a nice low profile cafe look. Going for a classic subtle look.
Other mods will include progressive heavy duty rear shocks and race tech emulators with new springs in the forks. New tires. New brakes.
Where do I find good stainless brake lines?
Looking for a nice 4 into 1 with removable baffle, preferably black, or even a cheap one that I can chop up because itll just be wrapped up anyways. I like it loud. Anyone know a good source?
So far the most difficult thing for me to find has been new spokes and nipples. I would like stainless or black spokes with gold nips. If anyone has a good source for these that isnt going to break my bank I'd really appreciate it. Will also powdercoat the rims.
Only thing ill really be changing otherwise is removing the back fender to give it a more streamline look with tucked in signals and brake light.
Thanks in advance for any help.
